Can't imagine what she could get done with a higher one. And what exactly are you alluding to that is fake news? That she denied Trump giving the SOTU or that the government got opened without Trump getting his wall?

Exactly. He ran on Mexico would pay for the wall and then when they didn’t he tried to force congress and us to pay for it by Shutting Down the Government. He was even stupid enough to say on national tv he took full blame for the ShutDown.

It was BS from the start

When your opponent has a weaker hand, call their bluff. This is how you beat trump.

Trump is 5 points higher than that old elitist battleaxe.
The only voters Pelosi needs to be popular with are the folks in her district. Trump, on the other hand...

The shutdown is officially over at least temporarily, when Trump signed a bill allowing for government funding until February 15.

I don't think so. She knows what she's doing.

I don't even think she cares one way or another about the people that are suffering on both sides of the border.



The reason she is keeping it closed is because she thinks Trump will close the Gov. the next time he doesn't get his way. Talk about cutting off ones nose to spite the face... Talk about being childish. Border security should be the number one security concern NOT a game of political football. We are talking about real people that are hurting because of this nonsense.



I say give him the money because border security is important and then get to work on a budget that works so we won't have anymore shutdowns.

Why do we keep finding ourselves in this predicament time and again?



If our elected would do their jobs we wouldn't have shutdowns and if we do then they do not get paid and they should be locked in the senate chamber until they can work it out.
Not so different than not giving a toddler a cookie after they've thrown a fit, it only encourages future bad behavior. Nancy is just practicing good parenting.

So you think Mr Trump threw the fit and Ms Pelosi did not? Really?

Yes. Dems and Reps passed a bill weeks before the shutdown that Trump was supposed to sign. He listened to Coulter instead and this is what we ended up with. He said he would be the proud owner of the shutdown and he was.

Well duh. Trump shut this down to force Congress to give him what he wants and they didn’t. Hopefully they won’t. It sets a dangerous precedent.
